Optimization study demonstrates effective fluoride removal in aqueous medium, suggesting potato starch-derived iron nanoparticles may improve water treatment.
Present research highlighted on the synthesis of nZVI from potato–based starch and borohydride reduction (chemical) and same was used for removal of fluoride from aqueous medium. The results revealed that 99.8% and 98.7% removal of fluoride was achieved by chemically and biologically prepared nZVI, respectively. Optimization study was performed to screen out the process parameters. Four important operating variables were optimized through Box-Behnken design. The laboratory generated data were assessed through ANOVA. Finally, regeneration of the exhausted adsorbent with 0.1(M) NaOH was achieved 29% and 13% for potato-origin starch and borohydride mediated nZVI, respectively. Therefore, it can be concluded that potato-based starch could be the best precursor for nZVI and same nanoparticles will be effectively utilized for removal of various contaminates.
